Additional Information

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of this course, you should be able to

Find a mathematical model called a state space representation for a linear, time-invariant system.

Convert transfer function and state space models.

Linearize a state-space representation.

Find the time response from the state-space representation.

Represent, in state space, a system consisting of multiple subsystems.

Convert between alternative representation of a system in state space.

Chapter 4 deals with system analysis or finding and describing the output response of a system. In ENGRG 7320, we will find the time response from the state space representation.

Chapter 5 discusses the representation and reduction of systems formed of inner-connected open-loop subsystems. Specifically in ENGRG 7320, the state space representation such as signal-flow graphs of state equations will be covered.

Chapter 6 covers the study of stability of transfer functions and the Routh-Hurwitz criterion is implemented. The stability of a system represented in state space will be evaluated.

Chapter 7 will suggest how to evaluate steady-state errors for unity and non-unity feedback systems, as well as suggested error performance. This topic will mainly focus on finding the steady-state error for systems represented in state space.

Unit 3

Unit 3 will basically cover chapter 12 and the designing of controller and transient response systems with state space techniques.

Grading Information

The final grade will be based upon a straight scale:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
F < 60
